the default setting of "timed allocation", was it set on purpose? if yes, what changed that you made it customizable?

player's complaints?
if nobody liked free allocation and timed loot, why didn't you just remove these loot allocation options completely as nobody is really playing them if they can have "their" loot guaranteed for 5 minutes.

where is the once competitional aspect of the gameplay, is it gone for good outside of races and player kills on bandits quests?


regarding the other 1.2.4 changes: i like the option to restart the current area on waypoints but after some thought i can't think of any other grinding area where it's useful to restart on the waypoint than sarn city on every second run (as one end leads to the city). and even there nobody is really grinding as you removed masters and corrupted areas from it.


as i'm on the negative trip anyway: what's the use of purchaseable hideout decorations if your current layout of your temp league hideout can't be transfered into the permanent leagues at the end of the respective temp league? that's the only thing which prevented me from starting decorating.

If you like short/FFA allocation so much you should ask that it be added as a map mod.

So, no word on wand/staff skins again?
- at work, can't read the whole 10~11 pages right now :P -

Why? Ever run a map solo, come across Zana, open the instance and then discover you won’t be able to complete the mission solo? At this point, sucks to be you. You are stuck with short allocation.

GG, GGG! Can't WAIT for HoT and the new lightning skill! Patch can't come soon enough...

Quit currious what kind of kills herald of Thunder will support, beside the small damage bonus.
HoA supports attack kills, HoI supports critical strike kills. So what will HoT support kills with spells shocks surrounding enemies?

 Ok... I watched the State of Exile Podcast Ep:15 part 2 when it came out. Besides the hosts not asking the GGG devs the tough questions that they should have (presumably to not scare them off permanently as they would like to have 2 GGG devs on every 5 episodes) the PoE devs should (in addition to current work on Act 4) be working on the ranger shooting while moving skills, real in-game trading function (relying on 3rd party sites is wrong), and the always and ever present desync. I hate it where a creature that is out of range suddenly just instantly materializes on you and you are taking damage. Makes it near impossible for any hardcore league play for any but the no-lifers. So I play Rampage and forgo Beyond league. Also, the devs should be working on fixing Stash Tab purchases to make that right but I doubt that is even on their to-do list. Oh, hey GGG, buying any more stash tabs for permanent leagues will never be on my to-do list until I know I'll get new empty stash tabs. Wake up and get with the program already! Enough said.

Edit: Thanks for the ctrl-click to create a new instance in the current zone. Don't give a rat's ass about hideout decorations though.

Now where's the damn fishing pole and White Rhoa feathers so I can get some fish. Rhoa's are so fowl tasting.

Are you going to address low-life build balance concerns at all? Or just keep turning a blind eye to it?

Cmon man.. You do realize how insanely expensive it is to optimize a low life ST/whatever build, right...? 99% of the playerbase will never even touch the gear that is required to play one of these builds.. It's obviously not GGG's top priority to cater to the 1% that don't have a problem spamming their pots to play low life ST..

sooo... i have only 1 day to enjoy civilization beyond earth .. damn u GGG and chris wilson!

Best game ever, beste Spiel

You can now set your default loot allocation option.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you guys! This game is great
